(Laramie, WY) – This time last year, Wyoming fans were preparing to see Evan Svoboda taking snaps under center. In 2025 the 6’5 251lb senior will move to tight end for the first time ever, making way for sophomore Kaden Anderson as the top quarterback on the depth chart. “Everything’s new. It’s all foreign to me,” Evan told County 10. “From running routes, to blocking people, to hitting people every play. It’s all been different but it’s been a really fun journey and I’m looking forward to it.” Evan said he didn’t expect to ever play tight end, but that it’s a good fit, “I’m naturally a big, physical person so it’s been a relatively good transition.” Svoboda’s commitment to the program was admired by many Pokes fans. In an era where the transfer portal is used regularly, the Cowboy decided to keep playing for the brown and gold after losing his spot as QB1. “I think it’s been instilled in me from a young age, definitely from my parents and my environment. I was given an opportunity to be here so I’m going to make the most of my opportunity.” Listen to our full chat with Evan in the player below or by finding the County 10 Sports Podcast on any podcast platform!

(Laramie, WY) – University of Wyoming football strong safety Andrew Johnson is no stranger to altitude. The Cheyenne-native and Central High School graduate plays at the division one campus with the highest altitude in the nation, 7,220 feet above sea level. After his final season on the gridiron, his goals go even higher. “I’ve loved aviation since I was a kid,” Johnson told County 10 at UW Media Day Monday in Laramie. He explained that he spent much of his off-season flying around Wyoming and Montana, marveling about flying over the Tetons and Big Horn Mountains. “Now, my goal is to become a fighter pilot.” Later joking that his favorite movie is ‘Top Gun.’ While ambitions to become a fighter pilot seem lofty, Andrew has already crossed off his first major life goal. Wearing the brown and gold. “It was my dream since I was a kid. It was everything I ever wanted to do. So when Coach Bohl gave me the opportunity to do so, it was the easiest decision of my life.” The former Central High wide receiver and defensive back appeared in 11 games for the Pokes and started 5 of them last year. He recorded 19 solo tackles and 11 assisted tackles. This season, he’s expected to be a leader on the Cowboy defense. “We’re bringing that toughness back to Wyoming football,” Johnson said about summer camp. “Something that I experienced a lot in my early years here and that’s something we need to maintain and bring into the season.” Catch our full chat with Johnson in the player below!

(Laramie, WY) – “Nobody remembers us when we win, but they sure do when we give up a sack,” Wyoming senior center Jack Walsh joked with us at UW Media Day Monday. The Cowboy has plenty of opportunities to be remembered for a very long time on the football field this year however. He was added to both the Lombardi Award Preseason Watch List, which is given to college football’s best lineman (offense or defense) and the Outland Trophy Preseason Award Watch List, which goes to college football’s best interior lineman. Walsh is moving from right guard to center this season too, a position he hasn’t played regularly since 8th grade. But Jack’s team-first attitude makes him excited to lead the guys up front. “I wanna be a source for the young guys, someone they can look to and trust to give them good advice, that’s my main goal being an older guy, whatever someone needs help with on or off the field that’s what I’m there for.” Walsh smiled and told us last few practices have been fun, but exhausting, “It’s been very physical. Coach Sawvel wants to see us play some football, see what guys are made of. But it’s been fun. You have to do those things to get prepared for the season.” Wyoming football kicks off August 28th at Akron.

Aaron enters his second year on the job, but has been with UW as a linebackers coach since 2017. He is the son of former Wyoming Head Coach, Craig Bohl. To sum up summer/fall camp for Wyoming in a word according to Bohl, it’s been physical. “We’ve laid out a clear line this off-season what we need to be like, if you don’t wanna be in that footprint that’s okay there’s other schools for you. We wanted to make sure that the guys were here bought into that message and the guys we were bringing in would buy into that message.” Wyoming football kicks off the regular season August 28th at Akron.

(Laramie, WY) – County 10 caught up with the guy that’s projected to be the University of Wyoming starting quarterback this season at Media Day Monday in Laramie. Kaden Anderson started 3 contests for the Cowboys last year, but appeared in 9 games total. The sophomore threw 6 touchdowns, 3 interceptions and had a 58.3% completion percentage. Though Anderson is a Texas-native, he’s fitting in well this year in Wyoming. “Nothing better than a summer in Wyoming,” he told County 10. “I love the outdoors, I love fly fishing, caught some really big trout this summer so I was really excited about that.” And as quickly as he declined to answer where his favorite fishing spots were on mic, he was equally as fast to tell us he’s excited about the Pokes chances this year. “We look really good, high energy, great intensity in practice. I feel like the vibe is different than it was last year.” Expounding that the team is “eager to practice” and that “pads are poppin.'” Wyoming opens the regular season August 28th at Akron.

(Laramie, WY) – Monday was Media Day at the University of Wyoming as various members of the region’s radio, tv, print and digital outlets chatted with athletes and coaches. It’s not often that the wide receiver coach gets a lot of attention at the event, but 2025 was different with the return of an all-time Cowboy great, Jovon Bouknight. Jovon played for the Cowboys from 2002-2005 and racked up over 3,600 receiving yards, placing him as the third best UW receiver in the category (behind only Marcus Harris and Ryan Yarborough.) After graduating, the Denver native began the shift from receiver to mentor. He’s spent time coaching at Marshall, Kentucky, Oregon, Texas Tech and Utah State before returning to Laramie. “It is a full circle moment as it all started here at the University of Wyoming,” Bouknight told reporters when he first returned. “It is great to be back in the saddle with familiar faces with our student-athletes and coaches that have so much love and passion for this program. I’m ready to hit the ground running and go back to the foundation and fundamentals.” Coach Bouknight told County 10 at Media Day about some of his favorite memories as a UW athlete, “obviously the Vegas Bowl (2004) sticks out. I was only fortunate to win one Border War, so I think about that one from my sophomore year.” Jovon said it’s helpful to remember his playing days to instruct this 2025 group of Cowboy receivers, especially when it comes to the eventual cold weather. “It makes us unique, the mental aspect and being mentally tough about it. Understanding that it can play into your favor in late November if you’re prepared for it.” And the Pokes newest coach says while there’s still some improvement he’d like to see before the August 28th opener at Akron, he’s thrilled with the wide receiver room so far. “It’s been going good. I think the energy is really high, guys are flying around. A couple guys that are new are working some kinks out. For the most part we’re doing really well. The focus the next couple weeks is who’s going to step up and make plays.” To listen to the full chat we had to with Coach Bouknight, hit the player below!
